Parking Wars marathon May 01 03:51:03 sweeeeet May 01 03:53:03 Man... This whole May 2nd thing is kind of annoying. >:< May 01 03:53:15 Since it's still two days away. May 01 03:59:54 * halfhalo hasn't gotten an email on 4 hours.... hmmmm May 01 04:01:01 i like that the new app page on palms site shows all the screenshots May 01 04:01:09 oh? May 01 04:01:14 (the "send to phone" page that is) May 01 04:01:18 Never actually look at those pages May 01 04:02:24 https://developer.palm.com/appredirect/?packageid=ws.junk.dotgame May 01 04:02:53 heh May 01 04:03:02 lol @ requires webOS 1.1.0 May 01 04:03:03 SOOOOOO debating whether to format laptop right now May 01 04:03:08 sorry those of you on 1.0.4 May 01 04:03:56 why doesnt it show the developer on that page? May 01 04:03:59 buuutttt also being lazy right now May 01 04:04:05 because the dev is worhtless :p May 01 04:07:45 no its not May 01 04:08:05 awesome new game v1 released tomorrow wouldn't get news, unless it was by rovio mobile May 01 04:09:20 heh May 01 04:09:35 ok, ONE of these buttons makes this boot from usb. which damn button is it May 01 04:09:50 heh May 01 04:10:07 mashing the kb makes it been as well May 01 04:11:22 gogogadget win7 usb3 install May 01 04:12:54 oh hey May 01 04:13:00 80% done May 01 04:32:19 * halfhalo waves byby to his storage space May 01 04:33:16 Does the Verizon Pre 2 2.1 Dr. wipe the storage partition? May 01 04:46:32 Verizon 2.1 Dr? May 01 04:51:56 i dont think any since 1.3.5 have cleared media? i could be totally wrong though May 01 04:52:05 i suggest looking for better information :) May 01 04:52:37 the first like, 2.0 doctors did wipe it, but I don't think any of the recent ones do May 01 05:03:59 oil: any doctor will wipe the usb if it finds the partitions to be not what it is expecting May 01 05:04:14 like the switch in 135 May 01 05:05:07 also in 2.0 May 01 05:05:23 ah May 01 05:05:29 1.4.5 to 2.0 is smart enough not to wipe, but 2.0 to 1.4.5 is not May 01 05:05:41 so 201 to 210 wouldnt trash it May 01 05:05:49 "should" not May 01 05:07:09 so, backup, better to be safe then sorry May 01 05:17:21 oil: have you noticed how the column width for the app info in the app catalog app has now changed? May 01 05:17:46 things that used to fit (like "Documentation") no longer fit, and there is a column of blank space doing nothing. May 01 05:18:06 yeah May 01 06:41:14 Sometimes these social network sites scare me (in a good way) with how they are able to figure out connections. May 01 06:52:56 ok, who uses a short url that is just as long as the original one... May 01 07:43:57 Hi, which is the minimum version required to use promo codes? 2.0 or 2.1? May 01 07:46:49 you need the latest app catalog client, dunno which versions that has been released for. May 01 07:47:34 mmh, ok. Then that is my question :) May 01 08:11:38 I'd assume 2.1.0, cause Verizon folks are complaining they can't use promo codes. May 01 08:12:21 ok, good to know, thanks May 01 10:37:28 in how many hours should the sales reports of april be visible on the site? May 01 10:43:01 these are my first sales results, so I'm eager to look at them :) May 01 11:13:34 hehe May 01 11:13:44 madnificent: is it your first month? May 01 12:21:06 madnificent: probably not for a few days May 01 12:21:21 usually "near" the first of the month, not actually the first May 01 12:49:47 morning May 01 12:53:53 guten tag May 01 12:55:05 its raining here :/ May 01 12:55:13 where? May 01 12:55:44 nashville TN USA May 01 12:56:12 sunny, blue skies, and holy crap the grass is green when did that happen? May 01 12:56:48 lol May 01 12:57:55 we tried to get all our grass cut yesterday.. May 01 12:58:30 anyone down by Dallas TX? May 01 17:27:51 good times... heading to bob hope airport May 01 18:07:34 morning folks May 01 18:11:34 LoneStar99: evening :P May 01 18:13:37 'afternoon LoneStar99 May 01 18:13:40 hi Adora! May 01 18:26:16 damn att wifi in starbucks sucks the big one May 01 18:32:15 duh, its att May 01 18:34:32 yeap --> dialup is almost as fast =) May 01 18:35:27 anyone know of a psd of a Pre 2 that I can throw my screenshots into? May 01 18:35:42 I'm messing about with a png here, and nothing is lining up right May 01 18:35:42 damn perfect timing now my cloud is down, so can't make App udates =( May 01 18:36:37 popple3 some time ago some dude sent me a link of a some Pre media stuff, have you searhed the dev site? May 01 18:37:46 LoneStar99: I'm looking around now. I just thought I'd ask here in case someone had a quick link May 01 18:38:16 found stuff May 01 18:40:03 i do the same IRC is faster than searching alot of times =) May 01 18:40:12 never thought of searching the dev site rather than a global search May 01 18:41:15 an 88MB tiff file O_o May 01 18:48:08 I was hoping for an image that had the screen at 480x320 pixels :( May 01 19:01:48 is anyone able to connect to http://urloid.com ?? or http://bobc.in May 01 19:03:03 LoneStar99: Yeah, no problems here May 01 19:03:15 I found a Pre with the right proportions for easy screenshots May 01 19:03:20 it'll have to do May 01 19:05:16 Popple3: yeah working here now, not sure what was up May 01 19:05:55 fffff May 01 19:05:59 no divx on mac atm May 01 19:06:05 that makes me sad like a panda May 01 19:14:11 merp? May 01 19:41:35 hello internet May 01 19:55:52 Hi, I've got a couple questions May 01 19:56:05 Someone sent me a copy of a webos project... May 01 19:56:28 okay May 01 19:56:30 one thing that confuses me is that the project came with a series of scripts named packageit.cmd, uploadit.cmd, etc... May 01 19:56:44 sounds like custom stuff they made for the project May 01 19:56:47 I am on a macintosh. What am I supposed to do with these? Do I basically just have to rewrite them by hand? May 01 19:56:48 OK. May 01 19:57:09 They'd said something to make it sound like this was generated by the SDL May 01 19:57:10 SDK May 01 19:57:11 I'd guess batch files/shell scripts of some sort to automate build and deployment May 01 19:57:34 maybe Eclipse does? I've never seen them tho. I do my work on OS X + TextMate, usually May 01 19:57:48 I do write batch scripts to make the build process a little easier May 01 19:58:01 Oh, apparently it's a sample : https://developer.palm.com/content/api/dev-guide/pdk/building-for-the-device.html Is there a recommended way to set up single build scripts that work on all platforms? Or do things with make? May 01 19:58:25 you could probably make a custom make file May 01 19:58:31 I am considering doing that May 01 19:58:33 well, you only need scripts that work on the platform you're developing on May 01 19:58:43 * hlfhlo goes to make a make file... of samiches May 01 19:58:50 AFAIK there is not a shared scripting system for Windows and OS X, so… May 01 19:58:58 Well, there's MSYS May 01 19:59:03 also, are you making a PDK app? May 01 19:59:09 funk: The problem is he's on windows and i'm on a mac and we are trying to collaborate on a project May 01 19:59:23 okay, I'd make separate build scripts for each platform, then May 01 19:59:25 I'm ... not sure, I'm totally new to this :( May 01 19:59:27 Hm OK. May 01 19:59:47 I'm wondering, what if I just convinced the windows user to install cygwin or mingw-MSYS or something May 01 19:59:47 the docs you linked to are for PDK apps, which are C++ compiled applications May 01 19:59:49 "native code" May 01 19:59:54 Aha. yes. Native code May 01 20:00:29 I suspect the dev on Windows will be much worse off doing that than you'd be to write the very simple bash scripts for yourself 8D May 01 20:00:40 Basically this is a crossplatform app, and I'm working with someone who has ported it to webos... the windows version already requires MSYS to build May 01 20:00:40 heh May 01 20:00:46 but, if you're doing a PDK app, I've never worked with it May 01 20:00:58 so I'm the wrong feller to ask, I'm afraid May 01 20:01:10 I guess there's that. the problem is i've worked with apps that had platform-specific build scripts and they drift out of sync very quickly May 01 20:01:12 OK. Thanks! May 01 20:02:31 The PDK apps, the scripts seem to get very complex. So like you need a separate %BUILD% line for each cpp file... May 01 20:03:14 right. that I can see being a problem May 01 20:05:50 I had another question but I think it's remarkably PDK specific. May 01 20:05:58 hey all May 01 20:06:02 perhaps someone will even answer May 01 20:06:04 hey PatrickC_Pre May 01 20:06:06 I will try May 01 20:06:07 PatrickC_Pre: yello May 01 20:06:22 brb lol May 01 20:06:29 What the webos guy I've been working with said was that you can't include OpenGL 1.0 and 2.0 headers in a single C++ file on WebOS. Can someone confirm there's not a trick for doing this? That just seems very weird May 01 20:06:41 haeffb: sorry I didn't respond earlier, I must've missed it May 01 20:07:24 mcc: if people can't help here, you should def check out the dev forums on developer.palm.com May 01 20:07:27 So this program was written so that it can run in either OpenGL ES 1.0 or 2.0 mode... and at certain points it just switches if (gl2_mode) and calls either the appropriate 1.0 or 2.0 function. May 01 20:07:41 mcc: no, that's perfectly sensible, they probably have an overlapping namespace May 01 20:07:45 That actually is helpful, thanks! May 01 20:08:05 hey May 01 20:08:06 * madnificent mumbles something about current programming languages May 01 20:08:09 mcc: you May 01 20:08:20 mcc: you _might_ be able to work around it with a macro, but I'm not sure May 01 20:08:22 madnificent: OK. Yeah it makes sense, but it's a little surprising since android/ios don't have the same problem with their respective OES headers May 01 20:08:26 y'know, bitchX handles ^Z _much_ better than mutt.. hrmm.. May 01 20:08:46 mcc: if IOS can do it, then WebOS should be able to do it as well May 01 20:08:49 madnificent: What we wound up doing was just putting all the OES1 calls behind a #ifndef TARGET_WEBOS May 01 20:09:08 mcc: yup, that's C for you :) May 01 20:09:17 mcc: and it might be supported in webOS 3.0.. you can join the Early Access Program to check And get access to early releases May 01 20:09:20 madnificent: Well, what it sounded like was that it was just some sort of bug in the webos headers. May 01 20:09:20 OES? May 01 20:09:28 ajay: I'm sorry, OpenGL ES May 01 20:09:54 anyway though if it's a bug then it seems like it should be possible to work around by just writing custom headers? Because it all links to the same place anyway. May 01 20:10:00 mcc: oh no reason to be sorry, i just got here.. :) May 01 20:10:00 So I was curious if anyone had encountered this May 01 20:10:22 i'll poke at it myself and check out the dev forums, thanks May 01 20:10:48 ugh this sucks, i've somehow written myself into a corner where the android version is opengl 1.0 only and the webos version is opengl 2.0 only :P May 01 20:11:10 mcc: no, I haven't done PDK programming (and it wouldn't be C anyways), but it sounds like it's possible May 01 20:11:16 BTW there are WebOS/Pre phones in the wild that only support OpenGL ES 1.0, right? May 01 20:11:29 I mean if a program requires OpenGL ES 2.0, how much of a limitation is this on who can run it? May 01 20:11:38 mcc: ahaa, there you might have it! If they only support one version, then it's clearly not a problem May 01 20:11:57 yeah May 01 20:12:07 mcc: could you, perhaps, abstract the differences between both implementations somewhere, then you limit the amount of macros (which is good) May 01 20:12:19 madnificent, no, that's the interesting thing, i did exactly that May 01 20:12:30 * PatrickC_Pre is lost in all this C talk :D May 01 20:12:36 madnificent: it's just, the way I did it depends on a single file named glCommon.cpp being able to access both header files :( May 01 20:12:46 mcc: I don't know when they introduced 2.0... if it's in 1.4.5 or 1.3.x then you're not really skipping any users, I think May 01 20:12:46 So I could split glCommon.cpp into two files or something?! May 01 20:12:47 PatrickC_Pre: Can't you C the way? May 01 20:13:00 heh May 01 20:13:04 ok May 01 20:13:05 as far as I know all pre's support oes1 and 2 May 01 20:13:09 I need to learn JS first :P May 01 20:13:12 really, interesting May 01 20:13:28 mcc: if you've gone that far, then you can add IFDEF everywhere in glCommon.cpp and then it'll only try to access one header file, no? May 01 20:13:36 not sure about the pixi, but I'm pretty sure even the Pre- does oes2, but that's just me recalling feature/data sheets May 01 20:13:39 mcc: mind you: my C is rusty at best (and I don't intend to change that) May 01 20:13:39 I know more C than JS.. ;^) (which would be saying more.. 15 yrs ago when i could actually write a prog :) May 01 20:13:48 All webos phones have been branded as Pre, right? May 01 20:13:51 I'm gonna learn JS, then Java and XML, then Obj. C, then C#/C++ May 01 20:14:07 mcc: no, there's pre and pixi (and Veer coming) May 01 20:14:08 mcc, there is the Pre, Pre+, Pixi, Pixi+, and Pre2 May 01 20:14:14 Pre: That's not a bad idea-- mastering other languages well before C++ I mean May 01 20:14:21 ok thanks May 01 20:14:22 and now Veer, Pre3, and TouchPad May 01 20:14:34 isn't that Veer event tomorrow? D: May 01 20:14:40 yeah May 01 20:14:53 and supposedly 2.2 to sprint devices as well May 01 20:15:03 I suppose that lends some credence to the whole 2.2 release thing May 01 20:15:10 This isn't so bad May 01 20:15:16 Veer launches with 2.2, Pre3 launches with 2.3, Touchpad with 3.0 May 01 20:15:21 I tried to do some Android development and the level of device fragmentation is INFURIATING :( May 01 20:15:45 oh I bet, it's annoying to find apps that don't work and don't tell you they won't work >:C May 01 20:15:52 * PatrickC_Pre is about to start Android development May 01 20:16:06 mcc, even with the number of "different" devices, so far there's a limited number of build targets May 01 20:16:14 (for Palm/webOS) May 01 20:16:16 PatrickC_Pre: oo, start it by dual-booting your pre! :) May 01 20:16:27 I wrote an app for Android 2.3 and somehow only found out afterward that it only runs on 0.5% of all devices and most android devices can't beupgraded :( May 01 20:16:31 waiting to see how much the new hardware changes that though May 01 20:16:32 ajay: already doing it ;) May 01 20:16:37 For the record are all Pre/Pre2/Pixi devices able to run the same OSes? May 01 20:16:45 no May 01 20:16:49 ok May 01 20:16:49 PatrickC_Pre: oh sh*t! i need to get that going.. did it affect your webOS operation at all? May 01 20:17:04 yeah, real only major difference RagingMind is screen size and CPU arc, no? May 01 20:17:04 ajay: not at all May 01 20:17:05 mcc, pixi is stuck at 1.4.5 as are most US Pre's (officially) May 01 20:17:10 they can mostly be upgraded, i just don't think it's a normal's ability May 01 20:17:19 and it doesn't resize any partitions May 01 20:17:24 pixi is too slow May 01 20:17:35 it's not THAT slow May 01 20:17:39 mcc, but (many) world pre's and pre2 run webos 2.x May 01 20:17:39 keyboard right is out :/ May 01 20:17:41 it's not a speed demon but it's not miserable May 01 20:17:47 ok May 01 20:17:51 no I mean for webos2 May 01 20:17:55 From Twitter: "I'm debating between developing for the BlackBerry PlayBook and developing for the Sega Genesis." May 01 20:18:00 some guy posted it in the forum May 01 20:18:20 ....huh May 01 20:18:23 IGNTNUNLMTD: hehe May 01 20:18:26 PatrickC_Pre: Does it work as a phone? have you used it long enough to have thoughts on battery life comparison? May 01 20:18:29 it's not too slow but it has far too few ram :) May 01 20:18:59 ajay: it doesn't work for a phone.. but wifi does work if you have novacom nearby May 01 20:19:08 and battery life doesn't seem too bad May 01 20:19:08 open 4-5 apps and it feels like it's frozen for me :P May 01 20:19:19 avarus: OCing? May 01 20:19:28 PatrickC_Pre: novacom for wifi?? hrmm.. May 01 20:19:39 IGNTNUNLMTD: that's just silly.. May 01 20:19:50 avarus: yeah, it's not so much a speed thing as it is just really RAM constrained May 01 20:19:53 overclocking? I think I had it overclocked to 800mhz but I believe it didn't work because it felt the same :) May 01 20:20:09 lol May 01 20:20:12 OT--any s/w recs to burn an mp4 into a dvd? May 01 20:20:19 (OSS, e.g. linux) May 01 20:20:59 ajay: idk May 01 20:21:23 brb May 01 20:21:31 I've seen videos where they showed the veer and it looks way faster and they could open a lot of apps and the phone didn't care too much May 01 20:22:15 yeah, but that's due to it running a more modern webOS build and having a Snapdragon variant under the hood May 01 20:22:26 yea, and more ram :) May 01 20:22:27 ^^ yep May 01 20:22:37 I can't wait to get mine :D May 01 20:23:06 I would rather have a Veer then my Pre- May 01 20:25:27 anyone got a promo code for NDrive? :P May 01 20:28:07 hah. fired up a little logging for the proxy parody May 01 20:30:57 PatrickC_Pre, ordered a veer? May 01 20:31:06 not yet :/ May 01 20:31:22 I want one though :) May 01 20:31:46 * ajay definitely wants a promo code for nDrive! :) May 01 20:32:08 avarus: order? is that a joke? (I didn't know it was up for preorder) May 01 20:32:15 I'm signing up for their beta now :) May 01 20:32:29 beta?? May 01 20:32:31 ajay, it's not but I don't live in the US so I don't know :) May 01 20:32:46 o2 said they will offer it in june May 01 20:33:44 PatrickC_Pre: you're signing up for the ndrive beta you're saying? why didn't i know about this earlier?! doh! May 01 20:35:10 ajay: google my friend ;) May 01 20:35:25 PatrickC_Pre: yeah found it, but can't understand what to do, so i'm just registering for their forum, hope that works! :) May 01 20:35:34 same here :) May 01 20:35:53 PatrickC_Pre: my point was more why didn't i know about this earlier, and i can't just go googling all off the handle everytime i want something, now can I? May 01 20:36:31 ;^) May 01 20:36:34 lol.. I was looking for nDrive promo codes and stumbled across it May 01 20:36:41 doctor google, please tell me what I can enter into you...I perhaps missed something May 01 20:37:05 man there's GOT to be an easy way to take mp4->dvd :( May 01 20:37:33 SlyFox or Nero? May 01 20:38:49 * PatrickC_Pre hopes the admin approves soon :D May 01 20:39:06 look for a linux/OSS s/w solution.. May 01 20:39:46 does Nero not work on Linux? May 01 20:47:06 I'm hoping Palm does a dev device givaway with the Veer ;) May 01 20:47:17 meh May 01 20:48:24 what? May 01 20:49:07 * hlfhlo thinks that the dev device giveaway is to open etm May 01 20:49:10 atm* May 01 20:49:31 the veer is not too expensive; you probably just can afford it :) May 01 20:50:22 ajay, I've seen programs that do that easily on linux, I'd help if I really didn't have to leave in the next minute for work May 01 20:50:33 if you're on debian, do some searched in synaptic May 01 20:51:11 RagingMind: np, i should have taken off for may day hours ago ! :( May 01 20:54:31 peace May 01 21:48:50 can we still upload apps for 1.4.5? May 01 21:58:32 Question for the informed. When you write too much to a webos cookie, (ie more then 1mb?) does mojo error out and tell you or does it just write the data. Becuase when I write good json data to a mojo cookie, the next time the app loads I get a bad json error and its the entire mojo cookie for the app (not just the data I wrote). May 01 21:58:36 Any ideas? May 01 22:06:19 i use cookies but with very little infor May 01 22:06:21 mation May 01 22:09:26 I tryed the MojoDB but it only took single values May 01 22:09:30 which was kinda gay May 01 22:09:42 It wouldn't do arrays. May 01 22:21:31 yeah, if you can't pass an array to something, it's clearly homosexual May 01 22:57:35 what??? http://www.precentral.net/palm-snuck-new-gesture-webos-2-two-finger-swipe-launcher May 01 22:57:40 * Tibfib never knew that May 01 22:58:01 I saw that to. May 01 22:58:11 I just hope were not going 4 finger apple. May 01 23:05:33 I'm pretty sure that's a bug. May 01 23:08:39 Like, it just does them sequentially. Try a two-finger up swipe in the launcher and it'll just do nothing because it goes down and back up again. May 01 23:09:13 or better, in just type, where it'll clear your input. May 01 23:09:35 ctbeiser: yeah, I think you might be right May 01 23:09:55 Basically, I just can't think of a single place it'd be useful. May 01 23:10:50 I don't know, there have been times when I'm in app, and want to get to the launcher May 01 23:11:20 even if it is a bug, I might use it :) May 01 23:11:21 Swipe up, holding your finger down, pulling up the launchwave, and hit the launcher icon. May 01 23:11:33 the launch wave feels weird to me May 01 23:11:36 It's just ergonomically impossible except on the touchstone. May 01 23:11:50 I've never gotten used to it May 01 23:11:52 what is? May 01 23:12:02 the two-finger swipe? May 01 23:12:06 unless you have two hands on it, putting two fingers on it? May 01 23:12:06 not if you're using both hands May 01 23:12:10 yeah May 01 23:12:19 Yeah, I don't even usually type two handed. May 01 23:12:20 although, that's a fair point May 01 23:12:24 me neither May 01 23:12:50 Double up swipe just works better for me. May 01 23:13:04 wait, you don't type two-handed? May 01 23:13:15 Only if I'm typing something long. May 01 23:13:26 oh, I almost always do May 01 23:13:36 I'm much faster May 01 23:13:43 (typing two-handed) May 01 23:14:30 Long texts, sure, but that's about it. May 01 23:16:06 ctbeiser: yeah, it may be a bug May 01 23:16:39 Although I doubt they'll fix it, so that probably makes it a feature. May 02 00:32:13 hi May 02 00:32:44 sql-lite transactions are asynchronous, or am i wrong? May 02 00:33:36 i want call a callback, when the transaction is finished, but callback.bind(this, result); doesn't work... May 02 00:33:38 :( May 02 01:06:44 mäh May 02 01:06:50 i'm dumb May 02 01:06:58 the callback was fine May 02 01:07:11 2 hrs of searching for nothing May 02 01:08:13 there was another listener being registered in a small method one hundred lines below May 02 01:10:16 that made the bug - not the db transaction and the callback. May 02 01:10:27 okay i'm off now May 02 01:10:30 bye May 02 01:59:14 * PatrickC_Pre2 walks in **** ENDING LOGGING AT Mon May 02 02:59:57 2011
